$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

And now we can all talk all the time. (Not sure of the value of that)

CAN WE ALL BE CREATIVE?

SOME SAY MOST HAVE THE POTENTIAL

BUT VIEWS ABOUT CREATIVITY AND WHO HAS IT DIFFER ACROSS

THE GLOBE

Most value creativity but not many believe that they are creative or have the opportunity to be.

Most identify Japan as the most creative country but they don’t it that way.

Most identify the U.S. as second but we see ourselves as first. USA USA USA (getting ready for the olympics)

LIFE IS AMBIGUOUS.There are many right answers

In today’s global society problems can be ill-defined.

SEEING THE BIG PICTURE CAN BE A VALUABLE CREATIVE ABILITY!
